Sure that's part of the problems i have with him.soon he will let the big names walk straight into the team. Someone like our captain. Once the team gels and start playing well, injuries will come and upset the harmony of the team, or lvg(aka self destruct) .will start playing them big names or playing them out of their natural positions to make it seem like we don't have players. Most of our troubles this season was caused by our manager, he mismanages players vert often.

I disagree with Maureen. I`d rather have LVG if he kept his shit together and stop doing things halfway. He should stick with this team. At least young lads can show character. Which will be gone after Maureen arrives as will in couple of weeks when our so called stars come back because Louie can`t say fight or fuck off to them in a proper way but under Maureen half of these youth players will be benched or sold, replaced by more fat cheque mercenaries who might just not fight for the club or the manager under any circumstances.

Yusuf Israel what's 8 2.
On another note it's incredible how many young players have gotten a run and for the most art done well
Stand outs been Jackson,Varela,Rashford,and nine of them have been awful so kudos to the academy.

yes the class of 92, but after that, remember that even though we give youth a chance every year (the opposite of what the media claims)

the golden year of 2007-2009 with rooney ronaldo tevez scholesy giggsy etc

brown was an academy player, of course giggsy and scholesy but then we bought potential players at the young age who came to life in the form of ronaldo and rooney, now we've done the same with memphis martial and shaw.

but at that time, we did not play only youth. so we clinge too much on this youth thing. IF you're good enough you will play. IF NOT, then goodbye, we are trying to be too romantic and I'm one of the biggest romantics outthere for football.

but the likes of bayern madrid barca, dont want to mention psg. but hardly give 5-10 youngsters a chance per year. they will have them on the bench and when mature enough they will step up. Muller for example, Busquets Iniesta Xavi Valdes Pyuol (golden age)

and then Madrid who never givs a chance.

these are the football forces. and Mourinho will know that here he will have more chance of getting by with youth if you don't win, but FFS, just because we love local lads, does not mean, we have to wait forever.

the great thing about this is, pereira januzaj (academy (bought at young age) Martial and Memphis bought. and Shaw bought. These are the lads with high hopes and who could start fighting for that place.

the likes of CBJ Lingard Wilson for example can fight for the spot but more likely be squad players.

we need to get back there. and we need to compete for the best with the best AND also by buying potential world-class players.

@Yusuf_Israel
"lvg isn’t moyes, he will survive this, I can feel it. I think woodward will also give anything for him to survive"

How far have we fallen?
Louis Van Gaal's primary job isn't to survive this, his primary job this season is to challenge the title and the Champions League. So far he has failed one spectacularly and on the right track to fail the other one.
And the reason why Woodward has not sacked him yet because Woodward simply doesn't have cojones to make difficult decisions.

So much for our academy lads being shit. Well they are carrying this Manchester United club this season.Brilliant performance and credit to our players or showing the passion. This is what we want, win or lose but show some passion. You play for MANCHESTER UNITED and not Tooth fairy FC.

Kudos to Rashford. Well taken goals, hope he becomes something and not another flash in the pan like Macheda and Wilson. Memphis was beast today and this is what I expect from him. Run and be confident and not act like Lazy fucker. Fans need to be patient with him. He may hav a frustrating night but he has talent. I hope he gets regular run of game. Arsenal style might suit him as they like to play and memphis might get space and time to run at their fulback. Well done to him.

As for van gaal, nothing changes. One game at a time, beating SHrewsbury and Midjtyland (glad, done writing their name) changes nothing. Beating them were bare minimum , real test will be from now. No more easy games, even in FA cup we play mighty WestHam and even in Europa we will face some tough opponents. All the remaining teams maybe bar Sparta belong to a solid level and will provide us some competition like Wolfsburg and PSV did. I want us to go as far as possible. I want us to win this and kick on our era. People may call it a second rate competition but let us be frank and admit it aint easy winning this.

Hey guys didn t you say for Kane that he is one season wonder? He scored 31 goals last year. But we "know" that our academy is good coz Marcus scored 2 goals today. Wow! Delusion at its finest...
I wish Marcus the best coz he has same name as me. But i refer to your standards. But i guess those standards arw only for other players and teams.
Even SAF said that our academy is not good. So one bird doesn t mean that spring is coming...

Seriously some just come to argue for the sake of arguing. One bird! CBJ, periera, Riley,Lingard, and now Rashford. All have proven they can handle to the pressure. If anything, our academy players have been one shining lights this season. The amount of criticism our youth setup has recieved ( some rightly so) is crazy. Our youth players compared to city's, arsenaal and other so called big clubs have done reasonably well. SO whats wrong in pointing out that. I saw city's youngsters play against chelsea and my god they were horrible.

Our academy may be horrible compared to the 90's but my god we are still able to trust these young players and most of the time they have delivered . Nothing delusional just stating facts .

@ash
I think it has something to do with how rare these chances knock on their door in their lifetime, especially in big european clubs with stature like Man United, where to break through it requires the usual hard work, skills etc mixed with one key ingredient which a major injury list on the first team.

not sure that are you referring to my comment? but just remember this, someone came here and praised totteenham for being that young and giving chances and I proved that we give chances and our average age at that time for all the players who played this season 24.44

now it probably has gone even lower. thanks to the rileys rashfords pooles etc.
Also I mentioned Januzaj now 21, Memphis 22, Pereira 20, Lingard 22, Martial 20 Shaw 20 McNair21. CBJ 18! Wilson 20 Varela 22 Love. now Riley and Rashford, so the potential is there, from the academy and from the ones we brought here.

MY comment was aimed for those, who say we can't get Mourinho because of youth. and Like you can see, I praised our youngsters, kids and the youngish players who have experience.
But I also mentioend the clubs who we want to compete with and who, only some of them do it with youth and mature players.

well now we have a bunch of very talented players, not to mentione the likes of Timothy Fosu-Mensah, Andre Gomes, Sean Goss etc

ALSO when we had that ronaldo-rooney 3-4 year great spell, we did not have a lot of youth playing first 11, but we got them as squad players more so, AND ronaldo and rooney were brought almost like memphis shaw and martial at the tender age. you see?

so the future is bright, and I want us to compete with youth. give them all the chances. but the problem is this. People moan that we're 5th and have a thin squad, right? but then they moan that Mourinho would bring big players and not play that much of youth. well either way, it's wrong for them.

so what's the option? go for Giggsy? and let mourinho get away? there's a bigger chance for giggsy to mess up ( I PRAY TO GOD NOT AND HES THE NEXT SAF!) than Mourinho not getting here for 3 years, give us trophies, bring the fear factor back, bring big names in, CL glory and eve nmould youngsters who deserve it and those who cant cut it are let go.

I'd rather take the second chance. EVENTUALLY giggsy at some point will manage us, but at the moment we need mourinho to come in and bring big names and trophies in!

anyway. this is my opionion. for me lets go with kids for the next years, but remember that, it will take time and a lot of 5th places before we click, because the likes of city arsenal and chelski will try and bring big name players while we mould youngsters.

second time close to the first team, gets on, shoots to the post and gets injured.

next game in, voila martial injured and the spot opens for WKeane but he's injured and Rashford scores 2 goals. he must be going mental wiht himself right now, WKeane I mean (also rashford but in a different sense)

poor lad. this could have been his chance to get those 2 goals, who knows.
although i dont rate him as high as wilson and now rashford but poor lad, never gives up and fights to become a part of Manchester United.

Indeed its sad for Will Keane. He was at the door step of the first team a few years back and a really bad injury put him out for a very long time. Now a spot opens up for him and he misses it yet again, with the guy filling in scoring a brace. That guy needs some luck, but time is running out for him here.

As for Ash's comment, its pretty obvious its aimed at someone who just wanted to mouth off to feel good, and thats not you. Nobody has put down Kane, all that was said was that lets see if he can replicate his first season before the big boys really show interest, and kudos to him, he has done well.
